Personal, Social & Health Education and Well-Being
Our PSHE Intent
We aim to prepare children to lead a happy and worthwhile life, helping them to know who they are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever changing world. PSHE/RSE helps children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We provide children with opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities, playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
As well as our strong PHSE curriculum, we place a huge emphasis on developing the children's emotional literacy and supporting their well-being. A child's 'readiness for learning' is essential to their success and we offer many opportunities to nurture and support our children's well-being. Please see our Well-Being and Nurture page.
The Jigsaw Approach followed and delivered at The Grove Infants aims to bring together skills around emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development. We take a mindful approach to the teaching of PSHE/RSE and support the children both during planned Jigsaw lessons but also in the everyday interactions during a school day. Children are encouraged to express their feelings and find the words to explain how they will deal with a range of different situations. This approach links to our STEPS approach to behaviour support and our school Golden Rules. All adults model a kind and calm approach in their interactions and this supports a truly whole school approach to PSHE/RSE.
